* Distal phalanx - made up of a cone-shaped ungual process with a distinct collar, '''ungual crest'''. The deep ungual groove distal to the crest provides attachment for the proximal border of the claw. It articulates with the middle phalanx via a small sagittal crest.

* The 'dew claw', metacarpal I, is normally present in the forelimb but often not in the hindlimb. It normally only consists two phalanges that resemble the proximal and distal ones.
